Is there a 1.16 standalone patch? I found a 1.15 patch torrent and I patched to 1.15 and was not able to play on my PC either. So I am at a complete loss.

Chazzie, Turning off UAC had no effect. Installed via Impulse in admin to 1.16 with UAC off. Same thing, no start or process in task manager. Just hangs and does nothing. If I knew the expansion worked I would purchase it in a heartbeat, but since I cant even get the game to run I dont see the point. I mean I can play in 1.05, but I really wanted the updates. ::shrugs::

Hey Christinamasilek, if you actually comprehended anything I posted at all in the entire thread, then you might have caught on to the fact that the first thing I did to my PC was format, reinstall Vista SP1, and then installed Sins. I bit my tongue the first time you replied, but maybe you should go back and read my post again, instead of posting your very helpful but not even sentence length replies. Also, spell check is a real nice thing to use as well when posting replies to topic

I uninstalled, rebooted and deleted the files left in AppData then rebooted again. I then installed via impulse to 1.16 and the same problem. The game wont start and still not even in inkling of a task/process in task manager. I am at a loss. I can tell you one thing, I am really tired of downloading the game over and over again.

I will try this tomorrow, thanks for the advice.

OK..... Install number 2 above was a fresh install via Impulse only to 1.16.051 and the game wouldnt budge. On to install number 3.... Installed via stardock again to 1.05.028 and the game works. Patched to 1.16. and the game does not run. There is no hanging process in task manager doing nothing, it just sits there. I have tried launching from the exe and launcher in both normal and admin modes and nothing I do has any effect. I REALLY wanted t

I thought that was what this technical forum was for.... What would booting into safe mode acomplish? Maybe if there was other junk in the way, but its a fresh format. This is a fresh install in Vista SP1 with updated drives and nothing else on it. I just got this PC back last night and the first thing I did was format it. Sins works fine if I install and patch to 1.05. Sins will not even start a process in the Task Manager if I install and patch to 1.16.051 So

I have done a full reinstall via impulse and the same thing. The game just wont start. I wanted to go back and try to play a bit before I purchased the expansion, but this is depressing. Anyone else have this kind of problem?

I just got my PC back from the exwife and I am in the process of freshly formatting and installing vista and everything else. So my problem is thus... I did a fresh install of Sins 1.05 via stardock and everything was fine. It played, worked, looked pretty. Everything I always wanted. :p I went to patch via impulse to the latest version 1.16.051 and the game just wont launch at all. I open the Launcher and click run, I get a busy icon for 4-5 seconds then nothing. No p
